    help question Folder / File Permissions

    Hi!

    I have the Zen Cart V. 1.5 installed. Related books and various documents in the Zen website discuss file permissions. However, in my Zen Cart directory, there are more folders/files than those that are discussed in the books/documents. FYI, attached is a list of folder/files in my Zen Cart directory.

    Is there a comprehensive list of file permissions?

    Thank you.

    Dear Totally Zenned,

    Thank you for your reply.

    However, I had previously looked at the document and is not a "comprehensive" list.

    The folders listed in that tutorial are only the ones that require special handling (mostly need to be writable).

    Other than those, on Linux/Unix hosts, generally, permission-setting recommendations for basic security are:

    folders/directories: 755
    files: 644

    The two configure.php files should be set to 444.

    It's also addressed in the /docs/ImplementationGuide.pdf that comes with your Zen Cart files.

    You know....way back when.....I seem to remember suggesting an implementation guide to you in order to cut down on the number of forum posts.
